Anakin feels betrayed when he Jedi Council He rejects his request to become a teacher, and for many, it is the first step in his way to the dark side. Mace Windu accepts Anakin’s presence in the Jedi Council, but does not grant him the range of teacher. The young Jedi, outraged, asks: “How can someone have a hole in the advice without being a teacher?” Well, for several reasons.
To start, one of the main requirements to become a teacher is Having trained a Padawan to the rank of Knight Jedi. Ahsoka never completed the training under Anakin’s tutelage, since he left the order before being awarded with the title of Caballero Jedi. Obi-Wan, for example, obtained the rank of teacher when the council gave Anakin the title of Caballero Jedi, after The battle of geonosis that we see in the attack of the clones.
A site on the Council, but without the range of teacher
Training a Padawan to Caballero Jedi is a requirement, but It was not the main reason why the Council rejected its request. The Jedi looked suspiciously at politics, and they didn’t like senators too trying to interfere in their affairs. The council members were receiving pressure from Palpatine himself to quickly raise Skywalker’s position in his ranks, and that generated rejection, especially in Windu. It is not that the teachers suspected anything at that time, Lord Sidious was still in the shadows, but of course They didn’t like the political presence in the Councileven if it was indirectly.
They believed that, giving the teacher’s range to Anakin, they were accepting a Palpatine puppet in their ranksand they were not going to allow it. No one denied the talent for the combat and power of Skywalker, not even his integrity (remember that Obi-Wan and he came from defeating Count Dooku), but but They were not going to expose the Council to political control. Anakin was denied honor for formality and caution, but that was enough to generate dissatisfaction and rejection. Little by little he strengthened his bond with Foreign Minister Palpatine, and the rest is already history.
